In general, Haztion is a traditional practitioner of weapons, believing in them to be tools, as well as extensions of one own's body. As such, it is important to use the right tool for the right job. For killing small game, or quick prey, be it large insects, wolf-like critters or even other humanoid enemies and Lalafell, he would be ready with a one-handed sword, namely his personal Cutlass made out of the bone of a whale. Against larger beasts, he would employ a Greatsword or his axe, depending on what's needed.
He doesn't fight with a shield, preferring to leave his left hand free. However, he would usually have armor on, and as such, is accustomed to using his gauntlet to parry attacks away from himself. The free hand allows him the option to use his opponent as leverage, if he could grab an overextended spear thrust, or catch an article of clothing, if not a body part. As such, his style seems very rough around the edges, with an aggressive focus on moving into an opponent's space, but keeping the blade away, making it harder to anticipate. A less-experienced opponent would be watching his sword arm for any attacks, only to be greeted with punches, shoulder tackles, tripping and kicks.
As a former privateer, his fighting style is unorthodox, wild and aggressive. Mostly because his style wasn't born from the disciplined halls of martial artists, but from being given a weapon and being told to survive. While traditionally, the style seems to have many gaps in its defense, not many have the peace of mind when participating in combat to effectively take advantage of all of them.
